drain some out using the left spar drain bolt
until the oil level is visible through the window.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND CLEANING
THE FILTERS
Your vehicle has two engine oil filters. One filter is
located within the engine oil pressure pump housing.
The other filter is located inside the crankcase inlet
fitting. We highly recommend cleaning (or replacing)
both as directed.
Clean (the screen type) or replace (the paper
element type) engine oil filters every time you change
the oil.
The engine and exhaust system are extremely
hot and take time to cool after you shut the
engine off. Work carefully to avoid hot surfaces.
You can be burned severely.
NOTE :
Remove the spar engine oil filler cap (left spar) when
draining.
When refilling engine oil, add slowly and recheck
level frequently so as not to over fill the system.
